Barcelona Airport Transfer to Sitges

There are two means of public transport to Sitges from Barcelona Airport. They are the MonBus and the RENFE train (includes a change of train at Barcelona Sants rail station)

Which one you take will depend on your flight details because the MonBus service only runs approximately every 2 hours. It will also depend on which Terminal at Barcelona Airport you are flying into. As of June 2009 there are now two terminals at Barcelona Airport – Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2) (T2 has three separate sections T2A, T2B and T2C ). At time of writing (July 2009) there are no coaches leaving for Sitges from T1 – only from T2B. If you wish to take the coach to Sitges from T1 you will first need to take the free shuttle bus to T2B.

The MonBus service – Leaving from outside T2B Barcelona airport

The MonBus service runs from Barcelona airport to the following stations and includes the popular destination of Sitges.

Barcelona City Centre > Bellvitge >Barcelona Airport > Ribes > Sitges > Rocamar > Roquetes > Villanova> Cubelles> Cunit > Segur > Calafell > El Vendrell

El Vendrell > Calafell > Segur > Cunit > Cubelles > VillaNova > Roquetes > Rocamar > Sitges > Ribes >Barcelona Airport >Bellvitge > Barcelona City Centre

The stops are in order of direction but remember that the MonBus runs in both directions from the airport so make sure you get the bus that is going in the direction you want!

from Site visitor Tom Levitan, UK about the MonBus Service

A suggestion -- you might want to warn people that at least on Friday afternoon, the MonBus to Sitges from the airport can be standing room only. Two of us travelling at different times last Friday encountered this. It wasn't too bad, but it could surprise people.

Ticket Price from Barcelona Airport to Sitges

The ticket to Barcelona Airport to Sitges are purchased on the bus (cannot be purchased in advance) and cost 2.85 euros for adults and children. Children below the age of 4 years travel free of charge.
